Respected Comrade!

Thank you very much for your letter, book, and photograph. The latter I am returning.

I request Engels's pamphlet on Schelling when I finish with Lassalle's letters to Marx. If it becomes available to you sooner, I would be very grateful for you to send it.

I will forward the proposal to the Central Committee to the members of the Politburo.¹

With comradely greetings,

Lenin
